How is everyone enjoying Reddthat & the Fediverse at large?
Any cool communities you have found?
Are you going to go back to Reddit now that the blackouts are ending?
Also, anyone got any good ideas on how we can improve Reddthat?

I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Yeah activity wise it's hard especially when the mindset is wanting to enjoy content, and not generating content. Where we need lots of people generating content, commenting and voting to make it a lovely place to be.
You think we should bring it back? How do you think it would benefit us as a community?
I do think we should bring it back, but I had to think about the why for a while.
Part of me just wants it back because I got used to it on reddit, but I do think it has some purpose, such as:
-it makes it feel like your vote counts more, as not doing anything with a bad/unfit post sometimes doesn't feel like enough
-seeing a post or comment downvoted to oblivion shows the opinion of the community better than it just having no upvotes, as that can also be seen as the thing not being seen
-not having the option to downvote could skew peoples judgement on some bad posts, as any post'll get upvotes regardless of how bad it is, and downvotes would balance that a lot better.
I don't know if this is sufficient reason to actually bring it back, but I at least wanted to share my two cents on this matter.
Thank you for the indepth reasoning.
My biggest concern was abuse of the downvote and what that could mean in the fediverse, when an instance accepts any I guess the same could be said of course for the upvote as well.
